The YMCA is a charitable organization that unlocks people's potential, helping them to grow, become leaders and give back to their communities. At The YMCAs of Québec, we have the programs, support and expertise to help people thrive and succeed, which also promotes the overall well-being of our communities.
The first centre in North America dates back to 1851, in Montreal. From that point on, the story of The YMCAs of Québec began to evolve according to the challenges facing our communities. It's the actions and contributions of our communities that have made us what we are today.
We're part of the Federation of The YMCAs of Canada, but Quebec's unique context and communities have allowed us to forge our own story.
Our mission: To inspire and encourage all people to reach their full potential, thrive and contribute to their community.
Our values: caring, inclusion, solidarity, boldness, performance, respect.
